This is a fusion recipe for garlic mustard greens (or wild mustard greens) recipe based on a traditional Nepalese dish.

Ingredients:

450g garlic mustard greens, washed and shredded
300g paneer cheese, cubed and lightly fried
3 dried red chillies
1/2 tsp lovage (jwanu) seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp whole timur (Nepalese version of Sichuan pepper), or substitute Sichuan pepper
1 tbsp ginger, grated
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
3 tbsp mustard oil
1 tsp asafoetida
2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
salt, to taste

Method:

Add the mustard oil to a pan or wok and when hot use to fry the whole spices until they splutter and become aromatic. Stir-in the chillies at this point and stir-fry for about 15 seconds, or until they turn dark. Now add the ginger, black pepper and turmeric and stir fry for about 60 seconds over low heat.

Stir-in the garlic mustard greens and stir-fry for about 2 minutes adding the paneer and cooking for 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasonings by adding salt, if necessary. Increase the heat to high and cook the mustard greens until they have wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated away. Adjust the seasonings, turn into a warmed serving bowl, garnish with the dill weed and serve.
